The Dubai Carbon Abatement Strategy project developed a long-term plan to reduce Dubai's carbon emissions and assigned sector-specific responsibilities to stakeholders through 2021. The strategy supports the UAE Vision 2021 and Dubai 2021 Plan by establishing Dubai's first regional carbon reduction strategy. The 72-month project was completed using IPCC guidelines to estimate emissions and UNDP methodology. It established policies, annual GHG inventories, and emission reduction targets and strategies for Dubai and its sectors through 2021.

New Trends in Sustainable Real Estate UAE Investors Shift towards Green Build...kavithasureshk34
Investors are increasingly adopting sustainable construction methods, energy-efficient designs, and eco-friendly materials to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings. This has led to a significant increase in the momentum of green building practices. Real estate projects now incorporate renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, to promote energy independence. Furthermore, adopting innovative technologies, energy-efficient appliances, and intelligent building systems optimizes energy consumption and minimizes waste. UAE real estate projects tackle water scarcity using water-saving technologies and efficient irrigation systems. Investors seek certifications like LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and international sustainability standards to show their dedication to green building practices.

OECD Green Talks LIVE: Moving the world economy to net zero: the role of tran...OECD Environment
To meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, decarbonisation measures will need to be financed across all sectors of the economy — most importantly in energy-intensive and hard-to-abate sectors in emerging markets and developing economies. As governments and the private sector ramp up their net-zero pledges, grapple with the ongoing energy crisis and face rising inflation, how to achieve those goals is increasingly put into question.
In the midst of these challenges, market actors and jurisdictions have ramped up efforts around transition finance, such as developing taxonomies and guidelines. But transition finance is often criticised for opening the door to greenwashing and risking emission-intensive lock-in. How can we ensure the development of robust corporate transition plans to support credible and meaningful transition investments towards net zero? And how can emission-intensive lock-in and greenwashing be avoided?
Experts on transition finance and transition planning will present and discuss their importance for moving to net-zero pathways in hard-to-abate sectors and emerging markets and developing economies, as well as outstanding challenges in this space. The presentation will draw from the recent report OECD Guidance on Transition Finance: Ensuring Credibility of Corporate Climate Transition Plans (Find the report here: https://oe.cd/transition-fin), which proposes 10 key elements to help corporates in developing transition plans, financiers to identify credible investment opportunities, and policymakers to develop strong policy frameworks.

Zero Energy Building Concept, Methodology and Assessment tool in Malaysia by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA Malaysia).
It is a VOLUNTARY program to support the government and global afford and policy to reduce carbon emission.
1. PROJECT BRIEF
Dubai’s Carbon Abatement Strategy set the
course of actions to be adopted by Dubai
Government in order to manage Dubai's
GHG emissions until 2021 compared to its
business as usual scenario. The project
developed a long-term plan to reduce
carbon emissions and assigned sub-national
stakeholders sectorial responsibilities based
on the source of emissions and ability to
influence policy while monitoring progress.
The strategy to reduce carbon emissions is
the first of its kind in the region. It supports
the UAE Vision 2021, which aims to transform
the UAE to be one of the best countries in the
world by 2021. The strategy is part of Dubai
2021 Plan
